Eurocode 1 - Actions on structures - Part 1-3: General actions - Snow loads
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1991-1-3/A1 standard provides guidelines for determining the snow load values to be used in the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works. It is an amendment to the EN 1991-1-3 standard.
This standard specifically applies to sites with altitudes below 1500 m. For sites at altitudes above 1500 m, guidance for the treatment of snow loads can be found in the National Annex. The purpose of this standard is to ensure the safety and stability of structures under the effects of snow loads.
By following the guidelines outlined in EN 1991-1-3/A1, engineers and designers can accurately calculate the snow load values based on various factors such as location, altitude, ground characteristics, and climatic conditions. These calculations are essential for determining the structural capacity and resilience required to withstand the specific snow loads encountered in a particular region.
